Cross Docking

Cross docking is a process in the logistics industry that not only reduces material handling, but also reduces the storage steps of the materials within the warehouse. Instead of cargo being delivered to a warehouse, an inbound truck unloads goods, and transfers them to an outbound truck.

Simply put, goods are transferred from one form of transportation to another in a docking terminal, skipping their costly warehouse stay. Thus, the name “cross docking”, as cargo is transfered “across” the “docking” terminal. Operations may utilise staging areas for inbound materials, typically spending between an hour to less than 24 hours at a facility.

Thus, inventory holding is minimized. Bridgewater Logistics offers excellent cross docking services and dedicated distribution solutions that increase delivery speed and reduce storage costs to a minimum. Cross docking is a positive strategy for any company that requires the unloading and merging of bulk consignments from various points of manufacture.
